Part 11
It was Sunday and all khuranas were sitting on the dining table for lunch that day. After a while geet and mansi joined them too after their morning fun. Naintara was busy in kitchen preparing food for everyone. "bhabhi jaldi.. we are hungry" shouted maan as he banged dining table with his spoon and fork. Another voice was of mansi who copied her chachu's act, making even louder voice.
Naintara came with a spatula in her hand and glared both of them. "I am making your favourite pizzas today maan and mansi, so better you both be quiet warna sabki tarah daal and rice hi khana padega" both just ignored her warning and started making even more louder voice. Dadima and dev just laughed at naintara's condition. Literally for world she has only one kid but in reality she is mother of two kids, one 25 year old maan and 7 year old mansi.
Geet just felt pity for naintara's condition seeing her so tired. "bhabhi may I help" she asked. Naintara immediately agreed and glared again at maan and mansi when then again banged table. Geet was cutting veggies for pizza while naintara was setting the pizza in oven. "thanks geet warna aj ye dono ne to mujhe pagal hi kar dena tah. Upar se aj Sunday hai so I gave leave to servants too!!!"
"bhabhi do they always behave like mad people ya aj kuch special day hai" geet asked laughing. "ohh you don't know yaar, they both are biggest idiots in this world. Mansi to mansi, ye maan bhi uske sath bachha ban jata hai... kya karu mai in dono ka!!"
"aapko gussa nhi ata bhabhi jab ye dono itna pareshan karte hai" asked geet amazed.
"geet you know life gets really boring and monotonous when you keep doing work all the time but in dono ki harkate acts like a spice in my life. If fifteen years back you would have asked me to tolerate all that, I would have snapped on that but ab dekho mere life ke kitne important part hai ye sab" get just admired naintara a lot. She was a perfect combination of ultra-modern yet traditional girl. She is one of the example of woman power in front of her, who not only handles office but home efficiently too.
"waise geet you know what am really happy that I chose you for mansi's teacher. You have become an important part of the family now, and you know I really admire you." Naintara gave a smile to geet and geet returned it with another huge smile.
All were sitting in the living area lazily after enjoying pizza's made by naintara. Dev was laying his head on dadima's lap while maan's head was on naintara's and mansi had to setle with geet's lap. All were discussing something or the other, passing their time but one of them had something else in his mind.
His eyes were fixed on the girl that was sitting in front of him, playing with mansi making all kind of faces. Sometimes she would stick out her tongue or other time would just make a cute pouting faces pulling her lips out. His heart would miss a bit whenever she did that and literally if he wasn't sitting among so many people he would have kissed those lips hard.
His eyes followed her every movement, her playing with her curls whenever they will fall out of the bun she had made, her rubbing her eyes in every few minutes and thus spoiling her mascara, her eyes that would once in a while look at him and then immediately look away. He knew something has changed, when, where he didn't know but yeah something had!!!
Seeing naintara so tired, dadima said, "bte why don't you go and rest, aap tired lag rhi hai"
"are nhi dadima am fine, bas yuhi tired hun, I will be better soon"
"naintara hum soch rhe the ab apko bhi ek partner ki jarurat hai to share your responsibilities" all looked at dadi confused.
"matlab dadi" naintara asked confused.
"hum soch rhe hai ab maan ki bhi shadi kara di jaye, inki studies bhi complete ho chuki hai and he has joined business too, ab shadi kara deni chahiye"
"what, meri shadi" maan asked shocked... "mai nhi kar rha aise hi kisi se shadi"
"kyu koi hai kya apke nazar me devar ji" naintara asked excited.
Maan for a second glanced at his right but then immediately looked straight... "umm nhi hai mere nazar me koi bhabhi, itna excite hone ki zarurat nhi" he said making a face making niantara laugh at his condition.
"but maan apne shadi se inkaar nhi kia hai"
"but I hadn't said yes too dadima"
"naintara hum aapko responsibility dete hai to look for a girl for maan... waise bhi humse zyada aap maan ki pasand na pasand janti hai" dadima said smilingly and walked away.
Maan thought the topic had ended and thus laid back on naintara's lap, but naintara was way too charged now to leave the topic so easily. Maan just looked at geet trying to catch her reaction on this topic. He very well remember how much restless he was when she told him about her rishta's... now it was his chance to see whether he affects her too or not.
"ha to devar ji bataiye kaisi ladki chahiye apko" naintara asked.
Maan thought of a plan and smiled within and said, "bhabhi mujhe to ek ultra modern ladki chahiye, jo skirts or gowns pehnti ho" all got excited hearing him tell about his dream girl that none noticed how someone's blood turned cold hearing him say all that. She knew she wasn't one for him but still she just doesn't want to lose him. She only knew how her heart skipped a beat when dadima mentioned about his marriage, and now hearing him tell about his choice was just making her pale. His each word was like a needle piercing her heart.
"aur bhabhi she should be beautiful, hot actually and ha uske hairs na should be short, maximum till her shoulders. And I want her to know salsa, you know how much I love that dance form... bilkul aisi ho jisse kisi ki nazar na hate" with his each word, his eyes noticed the change that was appearing on her face. Her eyes which just refused to even look at his side, while her hands were formed in a fist, clutching her scarf tightly in her fists.
Atlast it turned unbearable for geet to sit and listen him chant about his dream girl and she thus finally stood up and left upstairs, but before she could leave, she heard him saying, "bhabhi my dream girl would be one jise koi bhi na nhi kar sakta"
Tears filled her eyes hearing all that that too from him, she considered him different but then he was a normal person too, perfect in all respects and thus he would look good with a girl like him, totally perfect.
It was evening and she was just way too much depressed. After noon, she just stayed in mansi's room, couldn't dare to face him. She was thankful that mansi was being lazy too and thus settled to watch her favorite cartoon today without making much fuzz, thus giving her ample alone time.
She was going through the corridor when she felt a pull on her hands and before she could make some noise, she felt a hand clutching her mouth. She tried to struggle, but since her crutches came loose of her hold, she got misbalanced and felt she would fall.
but before that happens, she felt a pair of hand hold her from waist. She immediately hold him tightly and then opened her eyes to see him, so close to her. She took a sigh of breadth and then waited until he made her stand straight and gave back her crutches.
"mujhe tumse kuch baat karni hai" he said looking deeply in her eyes.
"ha bolo" she said looking at everywhere other than him.
"aaj everyone was talking about my marriage"
"hmm mai whi thi, I know"
"aur mujhse ye bhi pucha ki if I like someone else, but I denied"
"I know that too"
"aj bhabhi ko I told about my dream girl... bilkul modern and perfect"
"ha I heard that... nice choice you have" she didn't have in her to look at him, her throat felt choked but still somehow she spoke.
"ha meri choice hai, acchi to hogi hi... so what do you think about that.."
"me!!! what do I have to think about"
"whi ki kya mujhe aisi ladki se shadi karni chahiye??"
"ha kyu nhi, she would totally compliment you, you both will look nice together I am sure"
"but will I stay happy with her???"
"ha, she will be your choice to of course you will be happy"
"ha ye bhi shi hai... but will she be able to keep me in control... to tell me what is right and wrong, to support me when I will fall??"
"ha ofcourse, she will do anything you want"
"so I will stay happy with her, ha!!!"
"yeah"
"aur tum, tum khush rhogi??"
"of course I will be happy, tumhari khushi se mujhe kya problem hogi"
"tum dekh paogi mujhe kisi aur ke sath haste, enjoy karte???" he asked folding his hand on his chest.
"tumhe kya lagta hai mai tumhari khushi me khush nhi hoti??"
"tumhari ye lal akhe to yhi kehti hai... kyu ro rhi thi aj pure din phir??"
"my eyes are red because something went into them and I rubbed them.. mai kyu roungi warna"
"sach keh rhi ho"
"sach hi hai"
"meri taraf dekh ke bolo yhi baat"
"sach hai wo" she said looking in his eyes but still a film of water was there in her eyes.
"mujhe pata tha..."
"kya pata tha??"
"chahne lagi ho mujhe tum"
"bakwas mat karo"
"to nhi chahti tum mujhe"
"nhi.."
"khao meri kasam"
"nhi manti mai kasmo ko"
"kasmo ko ya mujhpe wishvas nhi karti!!!"
"mujhe kuch samajh nhi aa rha kya keh rhe ho tum"
"ha waise bhi mai ye kaise bhul sakta hu ki tum kabhi sidhe se nhi mantii"
pagal mat bano"
"mai to usi din pagal ho gya tah jab pehli baar dekha tha tumhe, aj tak tumhare chakkar me phasa hua hu"
"mai wo nhi jo tumhari pasand hai"
"pasand badal sakti hai"
"aj badly hai kal phir badal jaegi'
"kyu itna kamjor socha hai mujhe??"
"jitna samjha hai usse yhi lagta hai"
"tab bhi mujhse pyaar kar baithi... itni kamjor to tum bhi nhi"
"mai ja rhi hu... mujhe nhi karni tumse baat"
"baat to ab shuruat hui hai... itni jaldii baat khatm nhi hoegi"
"mai ja rhi hu"
"jao maine nhi roka tumhe... akhir wapas t mere pass hi aana hai tumhe"
"tum sachhi pagal hog ye ho"
"maine to kha hi ki mai pagal hu'
She just looked at him shocked, confused, bewildered while he was all serious... his eyes were boring in her making her insides tremble while his words just kept repeating in her mind. Was all that even truth or was she hallucinating she couldn't guess...
Precap: hum tum ek kamre me bandho aur chabhi kho jae!!!
I know many would be shocked with the sudden turn in maan's feeling... but dheere dheere sab samajh aa jaega dosto as picture abhi baki hai!!!
